had been raiding near Tic Cano Lake,

A Car Coupler Wanted

Among railroad men it Is universally
admitted that the common method OF
coupling cars is about aS primitive and as
dangerous to life and limb as can be de:
vised, and that the man who inyents q
proper substitute for it will reap both
fame and fortune. The patent office has
issued over 5000 patents for improved
and automatic couplers, and yet none has
been invented which seems to be perfect
under all the requirements Of railroading.
Many men have spent the best portions OF
their lives in devising couplers only to
find when they were subjected to practical
use that they had defects that were fatal
and could not be corrected.
Said an inventor: "There are plenty of
couplers that are practical and safe, but
the great trouble is that their first cost is
little mcre than that of tho ordinary
man killer, and as money IS dear and
brakemen are cheap they won't adopt
them"
~ hardly think that is fair to the rail-
roads" responded third. "In my opin-
ion, the great obstacle to the adoption OF
automatic couplers is the lack Of uniform
ity in the height of cars. The master
car builders have adopted q standard, but
they have no means Of enforcing 1t on
roads. If all the cars could be made OF
one uniform height, there would be but
little difficulty in devising an automatic
coupler that would work; but ut present
you might rs well try to make straight
stick without two ends Us coupler that
will do the work required by present cir
cumstances. New York Sun.

nra,s sicns and door plates.

: New ways of making living continue
to present themselves. The professional
brass sign poGsher dropped in to solicit q
job from me this week. He carried his
kit under his arm and was willing to con-
tract to keep the brass sign which I might
own, but do not, dazzling to the eye for a
fixed sum per month. He looked as II
the trade was not o bad one, for he was
decently dressed and !ingled some money
in his pocket. saw him next day busy
on store front where there are seven
signs and noticed that he worked quite
expeditiously and effectively. AS brass
signs tarnish over night and are as
numerous as wooden ones once were here,
should not be astonished If my visitor
died a millionaire.
Speaking of brass signs, how completely
the door plate has gone out of fashion.
When came to New York to work for a
living door plate was as essential an In
sigma Of gentility as bank account, and
shops where they were sold were to be
found everywhere. On the residence
streets of the better class at certain
hour every morning you would see SER
want on every stoop polishing the plate up
before its owner had his breakfast. The
door plate was with Us what the marble
front step is to the Philadeiphian. Phila-
delphia's front steps are there yet. Our
door plates haveS become things Of the
past, found only on old fashioned houses
without pretensions to style. Their
places have probably been taken by the
coats of arms which fashionable New
York now pays clever Frenchman to in

nIonotony Of Farm Life.

The monotony of farm life and its at:
tendant dangers are well shown by the
fact that the large majority of the inmates
of our insane asylums have been farmers
or their wives. The never ending round
Of work, with no opportunities for amuse-
ment, are the predominant features Of
such life. The dangers to physical health
are also many. The water supply is too
often contaminated by surface water con-
tanning decomposing animal and vegetable
matters, while the sleeping rooms, in win
ter especially, are too frequently badly
ventilated, and too warm or too cold.
The need Of change Of scene, of air and of
water is as pressing for the farmer and
his family as for the merchant and the
society lady.-Globe- Democrat.

Boulanger as an Organizer.

"For fourteen years." said the diplo-
matist, "Boulanger had, as subordinate
officer, chafed and fretred that he could
not carry out plans of reorganization of
the French army that had been his con-
slant study since the iron entered his soul
at the battle Of Sedan, in witnessing the
overthrow of the French forces. This
overthrow, he felt, was due to the short
comings Of the French soldier and the
want of thorough organization Of the
French army. As minister of war he
could give those plans a trial, and the
speed with which they were put in opera
tion showed how long and carefully he
had studied out the details of his scheme.
He is o wonderful organizer. and I am
sure his only ambition lies in the desire to
redeem the military reputation of the
French people by restoring the prestige of
their soldiers. ."-New York Graphic.

Water VIII Not Burn.

tits q matter of general belief that by GER
tain chemical processes water can be made
to burn. Now, combustion, in almost every
instance, is a process of combination of
oxygen, and water is completely oxidized
body; that is, all the afiintics of the hy-
drogen have been combined with IN equal
number of those of oxygen. The chemi-
cal reaction which would be accompanied
with heat and light has already taken
place, and cannot be repeated. 1t is truo
that we can decompose water into its con-
stitucnt gases, and produce the phenome-
non of combustion by recombining them;
but it is not the water which is burned in
such case, but the hydrogen gas OBJ
